RELIGIOUS SERVICES TODAY


Yesterday morning about 5 o'clock
William Mclaughlin, n section man in
the employ OF the Union Pacific rail-
road company was struck and killed by
n switch train in the yards west of the
transfer. Switch engine No. 1883 was
backing up about dozen freight cars,
and the man was walking toward the
train with his face to the ground when
he was struck. The morning was very
cold. and the deceased had his ears COW
cred, which undoubtedly prevented his
hearing the approach of the train. The
testimony of w. 7. Butcher at the in
quest gave the only account of how the
unfortunate man met his death. IL was
as follows: II was the first man that saw
him. | was running along on the ground
on the south side of the track and had
hold OF the last car. When first saw
the man he was not over half a car
length away from me. His head was
tied up and he was looking toward the
ground. He was walking in the di-
rection of the train, moving very
slowly. I signaled the engineer to
stop, which he did as soon as he
could. The car struck the man
on his head and was thrown
back. He fell and was dragged.
1t was the second car that ran over
him. | ran and told the engineer of the
accident. The body was found on the
south side of the track, two cars
and two wheels of the third having
passed over him"
j. Murphy, engineer, and Charles
Highsmith, fireman, of switch engine
No. 1859, testified that they did not see
the man, but stopped in from five to
eight seconds from the time the signal
was given, running about q car length
before stopping. They said the train
was not moving over two miles an hour.
The coroner's jury, composed of II. b.
Westcott, j. T.. Thompson, and George
Dixon, rendered a verdict that the
deceased came to his death by being
knocked over by train being pushed
| by Union Pacific engine No. 1859, and
according to the testimony no blame can
| be attached to the company"
The deceased had been Z resident OF
Council Bluffs for some TIME, having
| been employed by the Union Pacific
| company for two years. He leaves a
| wife, six children and an aged mother,
whose sole support he has been. The
remains were taken to the undertaking
establishment of Morgan, Keller e. Co.
| Two children of the deceased had heard
| that the victim of the accident was their
father, and were waiting at the under
takers to see if the report was true.
| When the strctchcr was taken in and
| uncovered. the grief of the little fellows
was truly pitiable, and many of the by
standers who were accustomed to see
sad sights, were unable to entirely con-
troll their feelings.

Going For the Gamblers.

The grand jury has not completed its
labors as yet, though some good work
has been done. The BEE has already
made public large part of the proceed
ings that belong to the public. Among
other things that have been carefully
considering is that of gambling in viola
tiOn of the law Indictments have been
found against half IA dozen or more, and
what is rather unusual, they are against
the leading gamblers of the city and not
against the small fry. The papers have
not been served yet, and there seems to
be quite a feeling that the officers are
rather dilatory in serving them. A
remark of that kind having been made
to Colonel Daley, district attorney, he
replied that, be that as it may, when
the cases came into court the people
would be satisfied that at least one
officer was honestly endeavoring to have
the law executed, and did not stand in
awe of n gambler even if he was wealthy
and possessed Of political influence.

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
A Voluminous Document Ex-
pected.
BIG BLAZE AT EMINENCE, KY.
Treaty-AnOther HarringI on Ar
d-Miscellaneous.
The Message

NEW YORK, December "A Wash
ington special to the Tribute says: 1.-The
President, at the meeting of the
Cabinet yesterday, submitted rough
draft OF the forthcoming annual mes
sage to Congress. 1t was fully and
freely discussed for four hours, and will
again be submitted on Friday to the
Cabinet in the form in which it is to be
sent to Congress. Meanwhile speculation
is rife as to the contents of what will
probably be one OF the longest official
documents ever written by Mr.. Cleve.
land. Those who know, say it will con-
tain 1900 words. From excellent
sources it is ascertained that Mr.. Bay
ards department will absorb
the lions share of the message.
He will announce, in the first place,
either the result of the labors of the
fisheries commission or the fact that
they are still at work. There is an i'm
preston prevailing that the commits
sioR will sit for the last time on Satur-
day next, 1t indicates that the nego-
tiation of new treaty has been found
impracticable, a result said to be
favored by Mr.. Bayard, who is repre-
sented as despairing of getting treaty
acted upon by the Senate in its present
temper. What the President will
probably be able to announce in his
message, is that the commission
has agreed upon an Interpretation of
the treaty of 1918. A revision of the
naturalization laws, the establishment
of a central bureau, and hint as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of restricting by Federal
statute immigration Of an undesirable
kind, are among the topics discussed
by the Pre- ident in view of the recent
Anarchi demonstrations in various
parts of the country. Regarding the
tariff and other questions of finance, the
President will have little to say, the
present plan being, it is said, to let the
Seer tary of the Treasury deal with
both questions in extenso in his annual
report. In general and very guarded
way, the President recommends,
it is understood, the liberal en-
largement of the free list, men
tioning, however, by name none
of the articles, which, in his opinion,
ought 10 be placed thereon, Upon the
wording of this part of the message,
much care and attention is bestowed.
Among those to whom 1t has been read,
outside of memt ers of the Cabinet, are:
Carlisle, Scott and Watterson. Randall
was given no opportunity to inspect it.
A codification of the banking laws
amended in the manner proposed by
the Con troller of the Currency is recon-
mended. The President, it is thought,
will, in a cautious way, recommend a
liberal s stem of appropriations for the
improvement of the Mississippi River.
He will likewise suggest, it is believed,
that appropriations for this river be
made separately, and not as heretofore
in the river and harbor bill, which he
has always regarded as an object of
more or less. The repeal of
the prescription and timbsr culture
acts is urged in stronger terms. The
necessity of preserving national forests
is pointed out. The Pacific railroads,
it is understood, will be the subject of
special message later on.

What Am I To Dor q

The symptoms of Biliousness are I'M
happily but too well known. They
differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of a morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; If it is not white and turred,
IT is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out of
order and Diarrbea or Constipation
may be symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often .Hemorr-
holds or even loss of blood There May
be giddiness and oftet headache and
aciditv or hatulence and tenderness in
the pit of the stomach. To correct all
this if not effect cure try Green's
August FL0lRer;; IL is but tri1e and

A Bad Burn.

LOUISVILLE, December 2.-Eminence,
Kentucky, was partially destroyed by
fire early this morning. The flames
were raging at 4.30 am. One-third the
business portion is in ruins. The wind
is blowing hard. There is no chance of
stopping the confagration unless the
wind changes. 1t started in Miller's
grocery, and burned the town hall,
Moody & Proctor's drug store Mari u
Brewers lumber and coal yard, O'Con-
nel's butcher shop and large carriage
factory. All, except the latter, we. e
completely destroyed, and the flames
were rapidly consuming it, at last ac-
counts, with many other places in ina
mediate danger. There are but little
hopes that the flames can be checked
before the entire row OF business houses
is destroyed.

Powdsrly on Knixhthood.

NEW YORK, December 2.-Ths Phila-
delphia Journal Of United Labor has
PowderlY's second letter on the works
of "Knighthood." He calls attention
to the fact that Knights of Labor grew
from 10000 to over 100000 in q short
time. While this was going on, men
were being blackmailed and discharged,
but they never murmured. Continu-
ing. he says: When 1 hear men talk
of seeding from the organization, with
the threat of starting an improved Or
der, find they know little of the trials,
dangers and odds against which they
will have to contend, and 1 fear that
the amount of energy necessary to
build up new order, Il properly ap-
piled to the old, would make It in
yincible,"
